    Shelter is absolutely vital in any environment. At a minimum, you’ll need somewhere warm and dry to sleep. Additionally, in bad weather you’ll want a place to escape the elements. The best place to start this survivalist section is with the biggest and most important component. Yeah, it’s that important. Now, I could include things…

    Carrying kit is vital. And every event has a different requirement in terms of what you need to take. In previous articles, I’ve talked about how I get away with an easy life at most airsoft weekenders because it’s usually camping from the car park, and you can carry as much as you need to…

    I’m not going to cover loads of kit in this section, certainly campers have a massive array of equipment to play with, but if you’re just camping you’ll have more time and space to carry and play with kit (for the most part). The aim of this guide was to keep a streamlined, simple setup…

    Just a quick one on bags to carry all your kit in, and how to pack them. It will depend on the nature of your event and whether you’re taking everything around with you (tip – stash it somewhere you can get to later), or whether you’re doing things from the safe zone, where you…

    Without food and water you will die. Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. So for any trip airsofting, be it just a skirmish day or a multiple day event, you’ll need plenty of both to get you through. But how much? And what’s the best sort of stuff to take? The easier…

    Cooking At some point, you’ll need to eat. During the day, if there’s a battle going on, you may be limited to cold or dried food just to keep going. And that’s fine, I regularly do short skirmishes on just a hot dog in a bun. But to survive a weekend will need a lot…

    One of the things that puts people off camping the most is that it’s generally viewed as cold, wet and uncomfortable. In the tents section, I’ve covered the shelter side of things which removes the wet factor. A good sleeping bag (seperate section here) is your best weapon against the cold but what else can…

    Everyone needs sleep. The sleeping bag is a vital piece of kit because not only does it give you something to sleep comfortably in, but it will also keep you warm and alive overnight. There’s quite a bit of choice and a few different details to consider, so I’ll begin with the oh-so-important temperature ratings…

    Shelter. Sleeping quarters. Workshop. The tent is your base camp for the weekend, is likely to be the most expensive piece of kit and you need to choose carefully. It needs to keep you protected from the elements and give you the space you need to sleep, store kit and get yourself organised. Survival rule…
